The Divine Envoy couldn't quite put a name to what he felt.
Some regret, some shame and anger, but mostly resentment!
He resented Ye Yu for not knowing his place!
If Ye Yu had just shown a bit of deference a moment ago, he could have taken the out and let things slide.
That way, Ma Baoguo was dead, sure.
But Ye Yu, having devoured Ma Baoguo's Divine Spark, could undoubtedly take his place.
For the Divine Envoy, he wouldn't have lost anything either.
But who would have thought? Ye Yu gave him no face at all.
Not only was his tone sarcastic and snide.
He'd even made up a shoddy excuse about Ma Baoguo suddenly dying from an Epilepsy attack.
Was he taking him for an idiot?
Feeling humiliated, the Divine Envoy now burned with hatred for Ye Yu.
"Ye Yu, Ye Yu, you brought this on yourself!"
"Your very existence will constantly remind me that I'm a blind fool!"
"As a Divine Envoy, how could I allow that to happen?"
"So blame your own bad luck!"
"If you'd just bent the knee to me a moment ago, I might have let it slide. But now... heh heh heh!"
The Divine Envoy's face flickered with uncertainty. He shot Ye Yu a glance, his eyes full of venom.
Feeling the Divine Envoy's gaze, Ye Yu's brow furrowed slightly, and he instantly went on alert.
Sure, he knew his attitude just now would provoke the Divine Envoy.
But Ye Yu didn't care!
From the moment the Divine Envoy had unhesitatingly approved Ma Baoguo's Divine War application, he was done with him.
"Move aside!"
Ye Yu took a deep breath, pushing aside thoughts of future trouble the Divine Envoy might cause, then calmly parted the gawking onlookers and headed toward his room.
As soon as Ye Yu disappeared, the Divine Envoy shot to his feet and let out a heavy snort.
"Hmph!"
"Xiao Gui, stay. The rest of you, disperse!"
At those words, the gawking onlookers dared not linger and scattered like startled birds.
Xiao Gui shot the Divine Envoy a suspicious look.
He had no idea what the Divine Envoy wanted with him.
A moment later, aside from Xiao Gui and the Divine Envoy, the hall was empty.
Then the Divine Envoy, who had been silent, lifted his head and glanced at Xiao Gui, asking in a low, measured tone.
"Xiao Gui, tell me—can I trust you?"
Hearing this, Xiao Gui paused.
He nodded.
"Rest assured, Lord Divine Envoy. I, Xiao Gui, am a Believer of Great God Arbor, and thus loyal to Arbor God City!"
"If you have any orders, speak them freely."
At this, the Divine Envoy's previously grim face finally cracked into a faint smile.
He nodded in satisfaction.
"Good, worthy of being Arbor God City's number one genius!"
After praising Xiao Gui, the Divine Envoy finally revealed his purpose in a low voice.
"Xiao Gui, I hear that between you and Ye Yu... well, there's some bad blood?"
"How about this?"
"I can let you vent your grievances..."
Before the Divine Envoy could finish, Xiao Gui's face had already frozen in shock.
He stared blankly at the Divine Envoy.
"Lord Divine Envoy, what do you mean by that?"
The Divine Envoy frowned slightly at this.
"In the next few days, I'll give you an opportunity."
"You challenge Ye Yu to a Divine War. When that happens... understand?"
"Once you devour Ye Yu's Divine Spark, not to mention Arbor God City, even within the Divine Kingdom, you'll rank among the top tier of new gods!"
At these words, Xiao Gui's face changed drastically.
"How can that be?"
The Divine Envoy's expression darkened.
"Ye Yu has already devoured Ma Baoguo's Divine Spark. His potential now is no less than yours!"
"If you still want to keep your title as the number one prodigy, you must nip Ye Yu in the bud. Don't you understand even this much?"

The Divine Envoy's tone had turned very hostile.
He felt that Xiao Gui seemed unable to grasp the situation.
After hearing the Divine Envoy's words, Xiao Gui's expression shifted violently.
"Divine Envoy, you've come to the wrong person!"
"What kind of man do you take me for? Such petty schemes—I, Xiao Gui, will never accept them!"
"Yes, I want to Hunt Ye Yu!"
"But that will be after the exemption period ends, when I face him in an upright Divine War!"
"Not now, using these sneaky, underhanded means!"
"Divine Envoy, you are truly a petty man!"
With that, Xiao Gui gave a cold snort and swept off, his sleeves billowing.
The Divine Envoy was stunned.
Once he saw that Xiao Gui had gone far, he flew into a rage!
"Bastard, bastard!"
"Every single one of you is a bastard!"
"I, Ya Muyoujiji Yemeidandan Shabi, will make you all know the consequences of angering me!"
The Divine Envoy, whose Divine Name was Ya Muyoujiji Yemeidandan Shabi, let out a low growl.
For the sake of his own pride, Shabi had set foot on an increasingly dangerous path of no return.
Knock, knock, knock!
A knock sounded.
"Come in!"
Ye Yu glanced at the door in surprise and said.
As his voice fell, the door was pushed open.
Xiao Gui appeared at the entrance, expressionless.
"You?"
Ye Yu frowned.
Why had Xiao Gui suddenly come looking for him?
While he was still puzzled, Xiao Gui spoke with a stiff face.
"Beware the Divine Envoy!"
After dropping those words, he twisted his waist and turned away with a haughty air.
Ye Yu was taken aback, then sank into thought.
The Divine Envoy harbored resentment toward him—he had seen that just now.
But Ye Yu didn't care.
In all of Arbor God Temple now, aside from Xiao Gui, who could pose a slight threat to him, no other Demi-God was on the same level as him.
Even if the Divine Envoy wanted to use a borrowed knife to kill, besides Xiao Gui, he'd be hard-pressed to find anyone else who could threaten Ye Yu.
As for the Divine Envoy himself?
Though he was a Lesser God-level deity, within Arbor God Temple, especially during this one-month exemption period, he would never dare to strike at Ye Yu!
Unless he wanted to throw away his own future.
Ye Yu felt the Divine Envoy hadn't yet reached that level of madness.
Now, Xiao Gui had suddenly appeared and warned him to beware the Divine Envoy.
Clearly, the Divine Envoy had found Xiao Gui!
"It seems Shabi is going to send someone after me."
Ye Yu thought to himself.
He had long expected that Shabi wouldn't swallow this humiliation.
But he didn't regret it.
The moment that Heavenly God had unhesitatingly sided with Ma Baoguo, today's outcome had been inevitable.
"Shabi, you still underestimated me."
"After devouring Ma Baoguo's Divine Spark, my Divine Domain has expanded to 815 square kilometers."
"With such a vast Divine Domain, the resources alone are enough to summon at least another 10,000 Earth Players."
"Against over 10,000 players who can revive infinitely, no deity below a Lesser God will be a match for me."
"Not even Xiao Gui is an exception."
A trace of coldness crept across Ye Yu's lips.
Shabi, you want to deal with me?
Your wish is doomed to fail.
No matter who you send, they're destined to be my EXP pack.
